Binoculars are an indispensable hunting tool, whether you’re sneaking the Eastern hardwoods, glassing the Western plains, or identifying a buck from a tree stand. Bushnell offers three versions of their signature Legend series, and I had the opportunity to try the L model on a recent hunting trip to South Dakota.

The Legend E Series has many of the attributes that a hunter needs, including a choice between 8×42 and 10×42 magnification, bright optics, light weight, and compact size. I chose the mid-price Series L and found the set to be most effective. Here are a few of the traits that make this bino a great buy as well as a killer hunting tool.
